Supreme Court agrees to rule on Trump’s immigration policies, but not until next year

LA Times  

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to render a verdict on the legality of President Trump’s use of military funds to pay for an expanded border wall as well as his “Remain in Mexico” policy preventing migrants seeking asylum from waiting in the United States until their claims are heard, instead forcing them back to Mexico. The administration has continued to push asylum seekers back to Mexico despite more than 1,000 documented assaults, rapes and kidnappings of those awaiting U.S. hearings under the policy, officially termed the “Migrant Protection Protocols.” The administration has simultaneously been tightening border policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It extended the closure of the U.S. Southern border to “nonessential” travel through at least Nov. 21, postponed many immigration court cases indefinitely and expelled at the border nearly 200,000 other migrants since March, including asylum seekers and unaccompanied children. “The Trump administration has misused military funds for the construction of a wall that has caused lasting harm to the ecosystems and communities of the borderlands, damaged sacred Indigenous lands beyond repair, and destroyed wildlife and habitats along the border,” said Gloria Smith, a managing attorney at the Sierra Club.
